So: I found yet another interesting book one again - the "Sourashtra trilingual dictionary".
This article I came across has put my mother tounge in a new light.
The less known Sourashtra has been published for the world to know about it.
I may be late to discover this - better late than never.
Now - I have to look for a place to buy this stuff.

Yes – Today I enrolled myself in the Kawasaki library. Not knowing to read Japanese is a big mistake over here. Even when the librarian asked for the n-th time my ID card with my house address on it, I was showing my company ID card. I always got confused between my company ID card and my ARC card. I felt very bad about it. But the elderly gentleman was very kind to put up enough patience with me and speak in English too.
Anyway – I found a book by Erwin Schrodinger – “What is life?”. I guess this would be an interesting read for me after Carl Segan. Lets hope for the best!

Today (12th March 2006) in my Japanese class I made a blunder workwhile of mentioning. The “/” and “ノ” seemed so confusing to me that I was going on reading the “/” in between the sentences as “no”. It was written “iran/batsuda” and I kept reading “Iran no Batsuda” and was wondering what it meant all the time. More than myself making the mistake, I pointed out to another guy to read this character as “no” – Oh! To my relief  - my sensei finally pointed out that I was making the most terrible mistake of my life! Thanks to this world! I just realized how even a little bit of Japanese is enough to confuse a person (gongaragachha).

Yes – I am late over here to talk about what the world has already recited so many times. Da Vinci Code was definitely a great experience and worth the reading experience. A book that is more of history retold with the chaos surrounding the evidence to what the world believes to in as God. I read the book to the detail and didn’t want to miss a single word and expression what the author wanted to reveal. From Paris to London – a thrilling journey through the times and lives of people we remember – and the things they have left behind for us to wonder about… Could it bring about a revelation of the truth (at least that’s what we are made to believe!)?
This book has thrown me a to light in Symbology – a subject that has enough mystery and alternative theories in itself to keep us engaged in it.
Da Vinci always inspired me from my childhood. I remember when I was taught in school about Leonardo Da Vinci – the architect, artist, human anatomist, politician, leader and what not! I was always awestruck by his multifaceted character – though honestly I didn’t have a clue to how much his work could mean to a religion and a community itself till I read Da Vinci Code. I would take that as an introduction to Da Vinci for beginners.
Hats off to Dan Brown for covering my favorite subject so well. Dan, I have been comprehending every detail mentioned in the book myself by running enough searches on Google. Of course – how can I miss your website: http://www.danbrown.com/novels/davinci_code/reviews.html! Thanks for the fantastic ride through time.

Dear Leonardo Da Vinci – someday I will return to you.
